Every wonder why a broadcast transmitter is in such a large box?

To make it hard for broadcast types like me to bring them home to put on
160.

For the same reason 20' plus long cars were built weighing 6000 #
To impress buyers that size was everything. That the engineer could walk
inside and replace parts in a very short time was a side benefit.....
The last 1500W CCS ham amp was probably the Amp Supply LK-800A with the PAC
8 outboard Dahl transformer weighing close to 50#. With 3x 3CX800A7's it
wasnt lacking in PD.
The Henry 8K could do it but wasnt marketed as just a ham amp
The stock Alpha 77SX was severly underpowered.
